Prof. Ernst Rank and the TUM-IAS team invite the scientists of TUM and their guests for coffee each Wednesday! Just come over to the TUM-IAS after lunch between 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. and have a coffee with us, meet other scientists and listen from time to time to a short talk (10-15 mins) on a recent major TUM publication or issue – aimed specifically at a non-expert audience.
On December 13, 2017, Prof. Steffen Glaser (Organic Chemistry) and Prof. Dominique Sugny (University of Burgundy) will talk about a newly discovered approach: Using the tennis racket effect, a well-known phenomenon in classical mechanics, the consistent alteration in the spin of quanta via electromagnetic control commands can be visualized.
Relevant Publication:
L. Van Damme, D. Leiner, P. Mardešić, S. J. Glaser, and D. Sugny, “Linking the rotation of a rigid body to the Schrödinger equation: The quantum tennis racket effect and beyond”, Scientific Reports 7, Article number: 3998 (2017) – doi: 10.1038/s41598-017-04174-x
We look forward to seeing you there!
